One Small Victory

I have decided by the end of 2009 I will not only eat, but enjoy, cucumbers and red tomatoes. I have already accomplished the former and I am determined to achieve the latter. Earlier this month, I tried a cucumber Dad and I picked from our garden and guess what?!
I didn't gag. I didn't foam at the mouth. Instead I really liked it.
Who knew this green, watery thing shaped like a hot dog could be so refreshing? I know it's silly but I am really excited about my progress. One small victory in a battle to develop a more mature pallet.
Gone are the days of gawking at platters of cucumber sandwiches, thinking hopelessly, "I wish I liked cucumbers. Those look really good."
No more passing cucumber slices to friends or relatives at dinner or picking through salads to remove tiny cucumber slices, once abhorred.
It's official! I like cucumbers!

Good job!
I for one, have never looked at a fresh tomato and thought..hmm, that looks awesome naked. I wish I liked it by itself. I applaud you in your endeavors.
I didn't like tomatoes earlier in my life. I started to like them when I had them plain with just a little salt. Then I liked them when I tried them marinated in olive oil with basil. Tomatoes can definitely be an acquired taste. Good luck!
I honestly nearly died when I read this. Before you know it you'll be telling me you like all 'a' veggies.
